Remember this horrific incident?
Let's take a look at what God has to say about despicable actions such as child murder-sacrifice:
Lev 20:1 THEN the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 20:2 "Again, you shall say to the children of Israel: 'Whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who gives any of his descendants to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.
Lev 20:3 'I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given some of his descendants to Molech, to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name.
History tells us that the awful practice of sacrificing children to the gods was a common thing in ancient religions. The Ammonites, Israel's neighbore, made child sacrifice to Molech (their national false god)a vital part of their religion. They saw this as the greatest gift they could offer to ward off evil or appease angry gods.
Do you still have any doubt that the so-called god "allah" is a false god? This should remove all doubt, people.
The God of the Bible made it clear that this practice was detestable and strictly forbidden. In Old Testament times as well as New, his character made human sacrifice unthinkable. (This includes, BTW, the detestable practice of abortion too) .
Allah is not God.
Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God. For more proof of this fact, you can read an article written by Hal Lindsey here and a comparison article here.
The one and only True God of the Universe who is revealed in the Bible as well as through the Person of Jesus Christ differs, like night and day, from the god called "allah."
Allah is just another pagan god.
Now, I realize that in our "politically correct" culture, my statements are considered "intolerant".
Well, so be it.
I speak the truth and those who don't like it can keep their heads in the sand and continue believing whatever they choose. But I am telling you what is true, according to the Bible, my friends.
The following is a brief list about the differences between the type of god that allah followers worship and the God of the Bible.
1. Unlike the pagan gods, our God is a God of love, who does not need to be appeased (Exodus 34:6).
2. He is a God of life, who prohibits murder and encourages practices that lead to health and happiness (Deuteronomy 30:15, 16).
3. He is God of the helpless, who shows special concern for children (Psalm 72:4).
4. He is a God of unselfishness, who instead of demanding blood gives his life for others (Isaiah 53:4, 5).
Let's look at what Jesus had to say about hindering children from coming to Him:
Mat 19:13
Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
Mat 19:14
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
Mat 19:15
And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.
(See also Mark 10:14, Luke 18:16)
Jesus is God the Son! He is the God of Love, and also the Judge of the universe. Look at the judgment he makes upon anyone who would hurt little children:
Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mar 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Luk 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Quite harsh, isn't it? That is the perilous end of perpetrators such as these cowardly Islamic terrorist adults who fled from the car and then detonated the bomb. Justice will one day be served; whether it be leveled against them in this world or in eternity...
Do we even need to question why Jesus' words included such severe judgment?
The answer is because of the nature of children. They are very trusting of the adults in their lives and through the trust of adults, their capacity to trust God grows. God holds parents and other adults who influence young children accountable. Why? Precisely because the adults in a child's life affect each individual child's ability to trust. Period. Jesus warned that anyone who turns little children away from faith will receive severe punishment.
Matthew 18:7-9 describes Jesus' disgust towards any adult who would cause children to sin. Because we are made in the image and likeness of God, we see child molestation as horrendous, too.
As I have stated in previous posts (and the documentary "Obsession" clearly shows) the radical Islamist teachings that are going on in mosques and schools in the Middle East are hell-bent on steering even the youngest of children towards sinful beliefs. By affecting their minds and hearts in such a terrible way, they are taught to strap suicide belts on themselves and be brainwashed into believing that blowing themselves up in the name of "allah" is a worthy cause. It's an detestable abomination!!
Still don't believe this is happening? See Newsbusters blog with photo of a child wearing a suicide bombing vest.
In Mark 9:42:47,48, we find out how seriously Jesus views sin.
Mar 9:43
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--
Mar 9:44
"where
'Their worm does not die,
And the fire is not quenched.'
Mar 9:45
"And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--
Mar 9:46
"where
'Their worm does not die,
And the fire is not quenched.'
Mar 9:47
"And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire--
Mar 9:48
"where
'Their worm does not die,
And the fire is not quenched.'
These may appear to be strange words to us. However, when we learn what the Jews at that time knew them to mean, we get a horrifying, yet accurate picture of why Jesus tells us to avoid hell. To the Jews, "worms and fire" represented both internal and external pain. Jesus gave us a word picture of the seriousness and eternal consequences of sin.
Isa 66:24
And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
Jesus emphasizes the need to be converted through him:
Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Update at 4:17 p.m. Charles over at LGF said in a comment about the car bombing story, “There are no words.” Apparently, saying such a thing about this horrific incident is another example of the "hate" mantra of the loonie left. Does this just prove the point that they would label absolutely anything as "hate" in their minds??
Charles:
"If that’s “hate,” then I’m guilty. I do hate people who murder children to serve a twisted Islamic supremacist ideology. String me up."
...because they don’t want their leftist echo chamber exposed to any uncomfortable realities.
Poignant words...to say the least!
This is only partly relevant, but I thought I'd share...
ReplyDeleteI read the other day that many people who are currently on the list of suspected terrorists in this country are either currently working as school bus drivers or have obtained their license to do so. School buses.
How frightening is that?!
Hi Jaded,
ReplyDeleteI heard about that too. Targeting children? It's just awful...
How is your brother doing? I hope and pray that he is much better.

Didn't God tell one of the prophets to take his son up a mountain and burn him as a sacrifice?
ReplyDeleteMaybe he was just having a laugh with him. Anyway do check out this evil Islamic video from Australia if you have time.
